Mass shootings in the US get way less coverage in China because it gets to a point where people start dismissing it as propaganda. Big ones make the news for a while, but most of them get touched on briefly and the news moves on.
Like, surely, after your 3rd mass shooting in a decade, the government would step in and do something about it, right?
“We’ve had 15 mass shootings in 2025 so far”
“You mean in the 2020’s, right?”
“Nope”
I’m like 50:50 as to whether news out of China specifically just short-circuits a populaces brain that cannot even imagine anymore that the people like a government. I mean you look at like global north numbers and it peaks at, what, 30% or so? Removed from everything else I get the feeling the idea that you could like a government has died

One would think!
